    As a new MSW program, could someone please provide guidance on the proper steps i need to begin taking in order to incorporate the SIFI (Seminar in Field Instruction) course for my future site placements. I understand that this is a requirement for New York institutions. Thank you.

    Hi Jessica,

    I'm also seeking guidance for creating a SIFI training and interested in learning how other school's have developed their SIFI training. There doesn't appear to be a standard format for the training, therefore, when I have MSWs reach out to me about practicum placements and say "I'm SIFI certified" a I really don't know what that means in terms of what they know or what they can do. If other schools could share their SIFI training content or at least an outline, it would help me better understand how SIFI certification makes a person more qualified for social work supervision than someone who isn't. 
    Thank you!
